What is Nebulization?

Nebulization is a form of respiratory care. It is the medical process of administering medication directly by inhalation, with the help of a nebulizer that converts liquid medicine into mist, which is then given to the patient with the help of a breathing mask. Nebulization is typically administered to young patients with Asthma, COPD and patients needing respiratory care for other breathing problems and is unable to use inhalers. Nebulisation is sometimes also prescribed for severe cases of nasal and chest congestion.

Nebulization Procedure

The Nebulization procedure is fairly simple however, caution needs to be exercised. The steps to be followed for the nebulization procedure are as follows;

Wash your hands properly.

Make the patient sit in an upright position.

Check the breath sounds, pulse rates and respiratory status.

Explain the breathing process to the patient during the therapy.

Then connect the hose of the nebulizer to an air compressor.

Then fill the medicine cup with the required medication and appropriate saline solution as prescribed by a doctor.

Connect the hose and mouthpiece or breathing mask to the medicine cup.

Now place the mouthpiece firmly in between your lips, if using a breathing mask attach the mask properly.

Then inhale the mist being sprayed on with the slow deep breaths.

In case of nebulization being given to infants take extra care and hold the baby and the breathing mask firmly in place.
